Abstract

>From the earliest stages, there has been strong interest in Unidata tools
and data services from outside the core community of US academic departments
in the atmospheric sciences. In particular, the disciplines "at the margins"
of the core community: oceanography, hydrology, environmental science,
ecology, etc. have participated in the program at various levels over the
years. Recent developments in the area of web services hold out the hope of
making the data systems of these disciplines interoperable without each
group having to adopt the internal systems of the others in order to make
use of their data.

Several international standards groups are working on conventions, protocols
and interfaces that foster such interoperability and hence have a bearing on
our ability to make atmospheric data available to other communities. This is
especially true for the groups who have traditionally used GIS tools, e.g,
hydrology, biogeosciences, societal impacts and hazard response. These
standards organizations include ISO, the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) as
well as the members of our own community involved in OPeNDAP, the Climate
and Forecast Conventions, and the evolution of the netCDF. This talk
provides an overview of the efforts underway and a recap of recent progress.

A special effort will be made to indicate how these efforts tie in with
those of the other groups within Unidata.

Thanks for your interest!
Linda
